AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This configuration enables efficient drop ejection with reduced variability in drop volume and velocity, facilitating compact and reliable electrical connections, and allowing for high-resolution and fast printing throughput.

Problems solved by technology

Piezoelectric printing devices also have technical challenges that need to be addressed.
However, with many staggered rows, the size of the piezoelectric printing device becomes large.
A further challenge is that, unlike thermal inkjet printing devices that typically include integrated logic and driving electronics so that the number of leads to the device is reduced, a piezoelectric printing device typically has individual electrical leads for each drop ejector that need to be connected to the driving electronics.
Individual piezoelectric plates are provided for each drop ejector, resulting in a structure that would be unwieldy to manufacture with large arrays of drop ejectors at tight spacing.

Abstract

A piezoelectric printing device includes a substrate and a piezoelectric plate. At least one row of drop ejectors is disposed along a row direction. Each drop ejector includes a nozzle in fluid communication with a pressure chamber that is bounded by side walls. The piezoelectric plate has a first surface that is disposed proximate to the first side of the substrate. A bonding layer is disposed between the piezoelectric plate and the substrate. An electrode layer is disposed between the first surface of the piezoelectric plate and the bonding layer. The electrode layer includes a signal line corresponding to each pressure chamber. Each signal line leads to a signal input pad. The electrode layer also includes ground traces disposed on both sides of each pressure chamber. The ground traces are electrically connected to at least one common ground bus that is electrically connected to at least one ground return pad.
